Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Buttermilk Rolls
- Activate the Yeast: Combine 1 cup of warm milk (between 105-115°F) with 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast and let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix the Dough: Add 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the yeast mixture. Mix on medium speed until smooth.
- Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder, mixing on low and then medium speed until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the Dough: If sticky, add more flour until it forms a ball. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours.
- Cut and Shape Rolls: Punch down the dough, roll it into a log, cut into 12 pieces, and shape each into a ball.
- Second Rise: Place shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour.
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F for even baking.
- Prepare the Egg Wash: Whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Baste rolls with egg wash.
- Bake the Rolls: Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool slightly before serving.
